Every word needs an extended version (like a "true name" in magic systems) that's hundreds of letters long, so the meanings will be short enough relatively.
For mathematics: the equation could be written on my hand, but the proof for the equation would take 50 pages to explain why it all works. It's truly one of the most anti-intellectual, desperate grasps at argumentation. _No one_ with any honesty tries to bring it up. It's right there with "mucho texto, I'm not reading all that, I'm glad to hear that or I'm sorry for you"" you get from all the terminally online twitter monkeys who think that too many words means you can't be correct (memes not included). Better reduce it down to a 3-5 word slogan to screech at people when you know you couldn't actually win an argument!
@@Tundra. it's actually funny how often twitter tards post memes with hundreds of words on it and think what is said there is true and disproves anything
He laughs about the dummies that need a character to explicitly describe the plot to them in Blade Runner. Then, seconds later, he offers his analysis of the true message of the film which is just him repeating a line said by one of the characters nearly verbatim. What an absolute brainlet.
He also apparently needs it spelled out for him that FTL exists in the setting, instead of being able to infer that it does by what Roy Batty says and the ads for off-world travel and the space colonies and such that would all need it. So because he was never told it explicitly exists he claims it's a plot hole because he's decided it definitely doesn't when confronted with a line that would imply that it does.
@@chucklebouf5379 After praising that terrible "shut up about plotholes" video which argues that things which are not explicitly stated but which are logical inferrences from the worldbuilding are not plotholes. The man doesn't even agree with his own perspective.

Pretty much. This is such a bad faith video and it’s dripping with smugness, believing it is smarter than it actually is. I understand writing a video or anything is hard but I’d at least redraft my script or outline extensively before I commit to anything. Because I’d want to be precise and concise with my words and references. But what do I know? 😂
I disinctly remember this guy arguing with people on Twitter about how "The Cenobites in Hellraiser aren't actually evil because they don't understand that their victims don't want to be taken to hell". He then acted all smug and accusing people of the old "Media Illiteracy" while conveniently ignoring all the replies that pointed out the references in the films that proved him wrong
He essentially has the intellect of Organized Chaos. Both will defend terrible movies because they're massive consumers with the most vapid understanding of politics.
Yeah, and violent sociopaths aren't evil either because their lack of a conscience/empathy inhibits them from understanding the true impact of their actions. Let 'em go everyone! Being evil is an excuse to be more evil! Brain is Melt
To be fair, he didn’t actually READ any of the text on the screen, a staple of terrible video essays. In fact, he just left vague text on the screen because he couldn’t be bothered to do a second take.
Knowing he's a journalist makes everything make sense. The lying, the unfair points, the bias, it all fits perfectly into the stereotype while pretending he was getting away from that.
It took me a while but then I recognized the guy. This is a CBR writer who was attacking Eric July during his ISOM first campaign, trying to find any possible excuse to criticize him: from his indie book being too expensive comparatively to main stream stuff (...), to Eric's bias (before reading the comic). At the same time, white knighting in favor of the big two (DC and Marvel) but also claiming he was in favor of indie creators. He's an ideologue, and not even a smart one. I guess with his job going extinct, he's trying to find his niche in the TLJ defenders dark corner of the internet. Clearly, like any other journo these days, he's five years behind the curve...
@@Denien82 Is the live call with Eric is the one where they talked for 45 min and he never gave a single good argument against ISOM comic price, become unhinged, started to insult Eric, talked about World War with Stan Lee and the Nazi and then Eric asked him if he was drunk and then Eric has to cut the conversation? Is it the same guy?
That explains so much really. Stolen takes from ten years ago, inability to argue or handle criticism, super bad 'my side your side' nonsense, inability to do research, no self awareness. Perfect 'professional journalist' credentials.
It's interesting he complains about channels "farming hate clicks" when his entire method appears to be: [insert clip from a 'controversial' TH-camr], his audience: "OMG! a youtuber I hate! Yeah you're so right! That guy is a liar!"

As an English major, there are no words to describe my utter frustration with so-called “essayists” who don’t provide context and citations for the articles and video clips they use. It is basic knowledge.
Except this wasn't an essay, in fact it was such a shitpost I mistook it for a meta demonstration of how critics lie to you by just hitting you with word salad.
@@Fauwkeshonestly that's a good question at this point. It's basically at the point where people refer to it like a film genre, except even then there's clear hallmarks for what a horror movie is for example. I think it's purely just the presentation at this point for what qualifies as a video essay. Something like this would fail 9th grade English, versus what I would actually consider "essay" would be content people like Matthew Matosis make. You know, actually well constructed scripts meant to inform and discuss a topic on a deep level. If I had to guess I imagine people consider any sort of scripted video where someone drunkenly holds a mic and talks about something for 20 minutes to 5 hours a "video essay". I'm not trying to be disparaging either I just don't know what else really ties such a comically broad format together.
@@Fauwkesbecause it sounds like they’re smart and you know how they love that… they hate it when other people think they’re smarter than the movie but they are true intellectuals…
Some fun additional context: This same guy got in a slapfight on Twitter over Hellraiser He said the cenobites weren't evil for attempting to torture a child because said child "asked for it" He was trying to media literacy the cenobytes and face raked so hard he sounded like a .pdf
Man, this video took me back. I haven’t seen someone so devoid of self awareness in a long while. Dunning Krueger preaches the valley of stupidity; this is more of a void of idiocy. This is why EFAP has a following. Because I assume the only folks who agreed with this person’s video either didn’t pay attention or have a bias to like it for whatever reason. As much as I may have my disagreements with you guys at times, I am thankful this podcast has helped me with critically thinking more about media. To not just accept things as they are but to question the whys and hows. It’s helped me a lot when crafting my own stories and life. So to all those essayists out there; you want to know why efap has grown? It’s because of folks like you who don’t put in the time and effort to craft good scripts and then debase us for being “media illiterate” or whatever scarlet letter of choice. I’m not buying it one bit.
@@fenixsantos4117 LOL. I’d say if you are ok with plot holes be my guest. Doesn’t mean I or anyone else who points them out have to be ok. Because all of this goes back to verisimilitude and standards. Be consistent in them. For example, I love strike the blood but it is a terrible anime. Entertaining and junk food but I’d never put it as one of the best I’ve seen of the genre. And really, when you can’t keep basic details together why should I care about your work? It’s like looking a statue and seeing how the proportions are off up close and some cracks. Or worse a giant head on a small body.
Oh yeah, Anthony Gramuglia has a history of having bad takes on everything he talks about. He'll block you for the pettiest reasons, which shouldn't be much of a surprise since he's a CBR journalist. Hell, if you really want to understand Anthony's mindset, this guy went as far as to defend the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus, the same group that brags about coming for your children and covert them to more gay, the same group that was later revealed to have pedophiles who sang in the chorus, yet Anthony was still willing to defend that. This is a guy claiming to have the moral high ground while actively defending a group that wanted to mess with little kids.
I remember that, Yeah that case was a Wtf situation, the full context was that it was supposed to be an edgy joke but it lost any sense of being a Joke when it was like, 60% of the choir were CSA offenders? Like How do you F up that bad. That's like making a Joke N*zi song and like at least half the members are from the KKK. I swear the coordinator or choir master deserves getting punished.
@@SFTaYZa I was making a sort of example. I phrased it poorly. I was phrasing The idea that a joke loses it's Joke factor when The person who's doing it would probably actually do the horrendous act, Like how a SA joke is taken more as a threat than a joke if the one telling the Joke is a Convicted Sex Offender.
"Bad movie critics like Mooler will ramble on forever on points and use sophisticated words to obfuscate how shallow their arguments are, and their constant ramble might in fact make you forget their poor argument in the first place" *5 minutes later* "so yeah, there are multiple schools of feminism and some are more positive towards gender norms and gender affirmation. Because you see, there is a difference with the gender you are born with and the one you decide to abide by in your day to day, known as gender expression. some schools of feminism are rather exclusionary towards these gender expression especialy from M to F transgenders" -Bilbony Gabbagoolia, massive
I want them to cover the first part of IPOS' video so badly. The Wendigoon segment really overshadowed the rest of the gobbledygook he says in that video.
1:06:13 - cool i made it into an EFAP video. Based and red pilled. im all for people criticizing me, i just wish they made actual critiques instead of 'this guy bad faith'
😂 No JAR, you are just bad faith TM, even for saying "This didn't work for me" and then having some guy pause your video before anything else comes out of your mouth, is proof.
"I am right. You are wrong. No matter what you say, I am right. And I will always be right. Even if you point out every error I made and spell it out to me." -Anthony Gramuglia.
This EFAP felt so surreal. I've never seen or heard someone just so unfocused and off-topic. I feel like he would be the type of person who would be held in contempt of court because he would just start talking about his eighth birthday party or something.
@@toko-loverNeed a GDELB style how to video for breadtube hit pieces, could help him and NKB reach those lofty hbomberguy heights they so desperately crave.
Funniest part about this episode was Ant pulling the "I succeeded by getting covered by EFAP" card in the aftermath And then Jay simply replying to that cope with "I'm sorry dude but I watched your video and it was not good."
I always love the “ by responding to me I’ve already won” cope, especially since it’s a logic that can be turned on the guy in the video, by responding to Literature Devil that means lit dev has won
@@sonicextreme3448The only way you can spin it into a positive if you say “thanks for giving my channel a boost”. But that assumes more people actually check you out, as opposed to more people being _aware_ of your existence, and avoiding, lol.
This video was amazing(ly bad), I loved the parts where he slandered individuals and then told us we shouldn't slander, or the parts where he had no original ideas whatsoever and then told us to think for ourselves. The Bladerunner segment in particular was excellent
The video where Literature Devil talks about Mary Sues in this example is: Why Rey is a Mary Sue and Luke Skywalker is Not. The beginning part of the video where he talks about Sandman and Superman is only to highlight that while these people posses incredible traits, they aren't necessarily classified as Mary Sues. He goes further into it by stating what he defines is a Mary Sue: A Character to which the universe and plot bend - Laws - People - Logic - Common Sense Devil illustrates that the Universe and Plot do not bend to their needs in a story therefore they do not fit the mold of a mary sue. He goes through the examples of literature for what makes a character a character and what makes them a mary sue. Devil never added any footage of Man of Steel, this guy did. He completely takes the "Farm Boy defeats Veteran" out of context.
I know it’s become such a recurring thing at this point, but man… the way this guy is acting in his comments and twitter is really disheartening. Literally shows one of the most pathetic displays of “I’m open minded actually” then essentially says EFAP is guilty by association.
This video convinced me... 1. That Blade Runner is still a truly masterful film. 2. This video essay may have been the most jarring, nonsensical and badly argued string of talking points I've ever seen, combined with a structure that editing actually WORSENED rather than helped. Combine that with his smug, better-than-thou attitude...wow. What's the *opposite* of a diamond in the rough?
@indigo_Gaming Golden turd amongst the mud? I don’t know but yeah you nailed it. I felt stupider after going through this guy’s video. If I was grading this guy’s work, I’d give them an F because of how horribly structured it is and the lack of references/ horrible arguments.
This entire video is built on the premise that all youtube critics are "right-wing grifters" and he did absolutely nothing to give evidence to that belief.
Once again... just because Rey scavenges starships doesn't mean she can repair one. Especially not one that is actively being used. Imagine one of those little kids scavenging the garbage heaps in third world countries fixing your laptop because "I used to take them apart so I know how they work". And not on a "this cable is loose" level, but on a "this specific part is interfering with the running of your system and needs to be tuned better." Just because I unscrewed a bunch of parts and cleaned them, doesn't mean I can fix one.
we should hire those children to program our operating systems. Obviously they have invaluable insight and won't just tell us the street value of components.
Actually that’s one of the few things Rey does that I kind of like. She’s shown in the film tinkering and having built things. It’s not an illogical leap from her skill set. The problem is that she can pilot a starship with ridiculous levels of skill, and even though she’s never left this one planet, she knows how to navigate through hyperspace. Han pointed out the difference between flying in atmosphere (dusting crops, he calls it) and navigating between star systems in ANH. She’s an ace pilot with no framework for where she’s develop that skill. She’s a crack shot with no framework not evidence she’d ever held a gun. Han even corrects the way she’s holding a blaster earlier but later she’s an expert marksman. She has never even heard of the Force but is using Jedi mind control hours later. She’s never touched a lightsaber and is somehow winning a duel against someone trained for decades. Her doing this one little repair on the Falcon is feasible compared to the impracticality of everything else. And that’s even a good acting moment for Daisy Ridley, who is thrilled and excited about finding this solution, and you can see how she’s showing off to Han desperate for his approval.
@@TheNoonish I dunno man, it's still far fetched as f*ck, at least they could have done a shot of her with some books or something that she's been gathering. They could have easily fixed the sequels easily if she was a Jedi apprentice that tinkers with mechanical stuff, her and Kylo go to investigate something, Kylo gets kidnapped (presumed dead), turns to the dark side, same idea (mah themes) much better done in 5 min. I don't get it, where the fuck is the JJ that supposedly wrote Fringe? Too much cocaine probably ... Or lack of it? 😵💫 To a point I also blame Disney, I mean wtf... Here's the characters you need: Luke, Solo, Chewie, Leia, Lando, C3PO, R2, Rey, Finn, Pilot man, Kylo, asian girl, Roller droid, Phasma, Snoke... It's just too many fucking characters!!! Most good stories work perfectly fine with 3 to 5 important characters. Well, in any case, like Mauler said: pick a random person off the street and you could have probably have done a better story 🤣.
@@SniperSX this is a universe where Anakin built a pod racer and a protocol droid from random scrap at age 9. Fixing a single problem with a ship that’s otherwise in working order is absolutely restrained in comparison. It’s all the other stuff that makes her a Mary Sue.

Anthony Grasmuglia only threw Antia Sarkesian and Jerry Peet under the bus because they've been discredited and disdained for over a decade now, so he feels safe to throw shade at them in his fiendish attempt to try and pretend to not have a political bias... which he reveals anyway with how considerate a devil's advocate he is for their bad-faith arguments, lies, and grifts. Grasmuglia is the exact kind of person to slander everyone he doesn't like as a member of the National Socialist German Workers Party while he personally would endorse every single one of their policies.
i've noticed that ever since Hbomber's plagiarism video, there has been a steady increase of targeted hit-pieces disguised as community commentaries made by aggressively left leaning content creators. in praise of shadows' Windigoon video, this abomination, est. its really funny to see them attempt to character assassinate content creators they don't like, while completely lacking ANY subtlety that Hbomber had and it completely backfiring. credit where credit is do, at least Hbomber hid his biased hatred and malice for Internet Historian where his own side didn't immediately call him out for it, but i feel like if videos like this keep happening, even Hbomber fans will start to look back at that video with raised eyebrows.
@@thedarkmasterthedarkmaster Could you elaborate how it was bad? He showed properly that Internet Historian copied the texts of news articles, entire paragraphs or up to the whole thing and just verbatim read it out in video form.
@@RomanBelisarius A video is more than just a script. It's also visual, eiting voice acting. Not to mention him complaining about the guy mocking sjws in old videos
@@thedarkmasterthedarkmaster I can grant the complaint about mocking sjws being biased. But saying a video is more than a script still doesn't justify uncited script plagiarism, which you know, plagiarism was the titular topic of hbomber's video. I don't think it's bad when Internet Historian even quietly addressed the issue by reuploading and actually citing the writer of the articles his script was very, very heavily based on.
This guy is a pretty good distillation of current day "journalism". Extreme smugness. Obvious double standards. Extremely bad faith arguments and bad faith in general. Context stripping to the extreme. "Fact checking" things that weren't even asked, LD's Rey/Luke journeys being similiar turned into "BuT rEy DiDn'T bLoW tHe Sk BaSe Up!" or CD's point that a group of macho-macho men with machine guns got floored so what chances does a twig of a girl have turned into "BuT aRnIe DiDn'T uSe MoDeRn WeApOnS!" and general strawmanning while ironically losing to the same strawmen still. - edit - How could I forget, the absolute peak of lacking any self awareness. In addition, multiple incoherent tangents, lazy editing, no coherent arguments or arguments in general, no original thoughts. Did I mention extreme smugness?
I've noticed a trend among TH-camrs where they go out of their way to show that they are holding their microphones in their hand, and I just don't get it. Is it supposed to be more visually interesting? Because it's not.
Amusingly there's an hour-long video about this trend already. That doesn't come close however to a video I saw which the guy began by adjusting his camera (or more like - shaking it to make it look like he just finished setting it up). Made me click off immediately; no way you can be that try-hard about making yourself look non-professional/down-to-earth.
"TH-cam Critics Are Lying to You" *Inaccurately describes Luke Skywalker destroying the Death Star as a Mary Sue moment despite him having external help and with the assistance of a divine power*

1:01:17 So I found the article in question. JustSomeGuy is, in fact, referenced TWICE in this article, and the article ultimately concludes that ANYONE who objects to the idea of Peter Parker being gay is indeed homophobic, which would include JustSomeGuy. So yes, he does in fact argue that JustSomeGuy is homophobic, though he doesn’t specifically call him out like “JustSomeGuy is specifically homophobic”.

I'm sorry, but I need to debunk this guy's statement that Lily Orchard is original compared to his other examples. She's not. Lily modelled herself after Moviebob and Jim Sterling, and took many of their worst traits to the next level. You can see this in how she copies the tone of voice used in the video, the editing style, and how she loves to come up with creative ways to insult and de-humanize people who disagree with her. If you're a fan of TV Tropes, you might also notice that Lily uses a lot of phrases taken directly from that website in her scrips. Even many of her original fictions that she works on are not original, but amalgimations of World of Warcraft and Knights of the Old Republic tropes (with heavy emphasis on evil Sylvanas-type characters as the heroes). The funny thing is, for the most part he was on point with how terrible of a reviewer Lily is, and how she relies on hate and vitrial to get through. Yet his ability to analyze media is so much worse than her's that he managed to make her seem rational in comparison. Let that sink in. This guy made Lily Orchard, one of TH-cam's most vile and toxic individuals, seem reasonable.
Specifically regarding Steven Universe, she actually has a lot of valid criticisms about SU having an unprofessional flaky work ethic behind it and the story pussying out of condemning the actual villains to force some happy ending, which unintentionally throws under the bus the antihero who died so that Steven can live. But even then, a lot of points in that video got flak from those like Robobuddies for being suspiciously similar to other videos on the topic (I watched the videos in question; they all got similar beats just presented differently; Lily made it her own with her delivery and add-on points, but yeah, "original" is not the word I would use) Whole thing's just silly to me because of ALL the things he could've slammed her for, he went with "she was mean to Rebecca", Lily's single most based take. And even there the guy backpedals because she's a LGBT
@@samwallaceart288 i can agree that Steven Universe is an overrated show with lots of problems ignored because it’s queer. Some of Lily’s points I also agree with. But she still took things too far, as she always does.
That's what makes this whole situation so much funnier. Despite Anthony Gramuglia's attempts to call out Lily Orchard for daring to criticize a show about gay rock aliens and an autistic boy with emotional problems, he still managed to come off worse than Lily because she at least sees through LGBT representation and can point out how badly Steven Universe handles all it's idea and should never be shown to a child. She doesn't give it a pass because even she realizes that Steven Universe's idea of love is more creepy than it is charming, episcally when it comes to fusion. It speaks volumes about how terrible a critic Anthony is when Lily is more objective when reviewing media than he is.
Former hardcore brony here. The unhinged psycho who rejects the objectivity of reality formerly known as Jerry Peet was looked upon by most as a fringe, unstable drama-farmer, unwelcomed even by The Herd's standards. Furthermore, stealing other people's shticks has _always_ been *his* modus operandi; when *he* first started making content, *his* videos were such a blatant theft of Zero Punctuation's entire format that The Escapist probably could have sued *him* if *he* had monetized *his* work. Also, I will not use Jerry Peet's "pReFeRrEd pRoNoUnS" for even more austere, objectivist, and moral reasons than I refuse to use Dylan Mulvaney's. Jerry was also discovered to be lecherous autogynophiliac, having written multiple pornographic stories centered around author avatar characters magically getting turned into women. So every time you refer to Jerry by incorrect pronouns or the drag name *he* made up for *himself,* you are playing into *his* degenerate sexual fetishes... and *he* knows it, and revels in it: that's just how much of a salacious, malignant, world-stage narcissist *he* is.
I love how every time theres coverage of these breadtuber types, they without fail hop on twitter to whine about the length and that 1 jebby Nicholson video in that order
It’s so surreal that he compared Jay making friends with EFAP after talking about the criticisms of their work to *cult recruitment*; who *is* this guy?
*Covering people I hate:* 5 second clips and zero context provided *Covering people I "hate" to seem balanced:* Well, you see there's all this nuance you need to be aware of before making these judgements. Have you considered [insert reddit rant here]
I've seen this behavior so many times with people of his political persuasion. But why are they always so afraid of admitting they're mad when it's so obvious that they are clearly mad. Like seriously if you made a community note and multiple tweets about this stream its very obvious it bothered you
@Phoenix0F8 like it reminds me when I used to use Twitter and I mad some edgy joke and it would always result in lefties responding with multiple messages ending in "lol" and "cringe". Like it's super obvious you're mad since you're spending so much time tweeting but they just can't admit it. It's like the 2016 triggered memes forced them to hid under a smug mask forever
I remember watching the lily orchard steven universe video and thinking “i agree with some of these points but some of them feel very bad faith” and much later went down a rabbit hole on how lily wrote nsfw mlp fanfics about minors as well as the whole sister ordeal. Pretty crazy how horrible of a person lily is
@@huvarda Well, I have the same experience as you. I watched her video before the show ended and agreed with some of the points and then discovered the other stuff you mentioned. I got reminded of her recently because she made a horrible take about Dungeon Meshi, doubled down on her delusions and casually spoiled the manga's ending to many people without warning. Such scummy behaviour.
Man, this has been the week of backfiring hit pieces... First that In Praise of Shadows guy goes after Wendigoon for congratulating Shoeonhead on her wedding and taking a picture with Turkey Tom. Now we got this Jack Saint wannabe crafting his own hit piece because Shad said Princess Peach wore pants once, someone pointed out Peter Parker isn't gay, and Mauler makes videos longer than the source material. All of these people are detrimental to the very craft they espouse to care about, and they are all terrible.
You don't understand, Shad lied to you! Clearly she's wearing a jumpsuit and not pants, therefore you can entirely dismiss literally anything else that he has to say! 😆
This guy comparing 10 separate people using contextless clips to two "his sides" with full discussion is the most bizarre display of good faith I've seen Especially considering the two have arguably committed crimes The only one of the 10 who have was Rekeita brought up only and specifically to dismiss criticism of lily
I am so glad you guys are going over one of Ant’s videos, I have had serval Twitter discussions with this man and every time he makes the same type of poor arguments as he does here. Funny enough the usually pattern that happens is we get a back and forth going for like 10 mins, one of his followers comes in to start debating me in his stead as he just sneakily leaves. I really dislike the guy
@@HerohammerStudios I watch his video about Excalibur and Zack Snyder a month ago (It Is a Ok video with again awfull editing). For some reason TH-cam keep sending me his community posts and he was talking The entire month about how this video was going to make people angry. So no, sadly Is not satire. I think he don't understand satire.
It's almost nostalgic seeing someone embodying so many of the male feminist creep/s3X pest stereotypes in this current year. Like I swear his cartoon avatar sets off so many warning flags
Funny you say that as he’s almost certainly a pdf file. He: argued that the cenobites in hellraiser weren’t evil when arguing with someone talking about them taking a child, saying “the child didn’t say they didn’t want t to” And back in his writer days he made a “joke” about the choir CSA controversy that was pro CSA Definitely said some hard drive check warrant stuff.
@@MysteriousStranger50 Rags wants to bang dogs, and there's a lot more evidence for that than what you've listed for this guy. Let's not throw stones like that on a Podcast featuring their own creepo.
I love how smugly this guy finished the video out telling his viewers to think for themselves, but his main criticisms of Critical Drinker and Anita were just that they went against public opinion?
My theory is that these kinda people do that to cement their message as the moral highground. Because of the way people remember things, most people only are gonna be able to recall the first and last things presented, so the audience is gonna walk away with, "evil bad righty grifters are lying to people" and "think for yourself™". Both of those points are things his fans (if one can call people collected to hate things that) are already gonna agree with and he knows that. Shame whatever third rate community college he went to didn't offer a class on video editing though.
Ugh, the "stormtroopers are useless" argument. OT: A New Hope; stormtroopers are renowned for their accuracy, the heroes only escape because the empire wanted them to escape and lead them to the resistance, they felt like a threat Empire Strikes Back; the heroes get their shit kicked in for the entire film Return of the Jedi; big epic battle (unfortunately undercut by merch), still felt like a threat Prequels: Phantom Menace; no stormtroopers Attack of the Clones; The moment the storm(clone)troopers show up, they utterly decimate the seperatist's droid army Revenge of the Sith; Storm(clone)troopers wipe out the jedi They weren't useless until Disney.
I dunno, the rebels on Hoth and the security forces of Bespin seem to do a surprisingly decent job of fighting back. And, yeah, the big finale of RotJ where they lose to Ewoks really was played for alot of laughs and they only seemed a threat due to superior numbers and the walkers. Not saying they were total garbage though, I agree, I just think it's an idea that started with A New Hope from people who didn't pay attention, was reinforced by the Ewok nonsense, and just stayed in the collective consciousness.
"I'm going to criticize A.S. to show that I'm not politically biased." *Immediately engages in insanely biased political rant about feminism and gender.*
I've seen this guy on Twitter before. Not only have I never seen him make a good argument, I also don't think I've ever seen him make an argument in good faith. I'm pretty sure he even strawmans himself in his own head. All while being unbearably smug and condescending
But that's how it is for leftists: Libertarian = Right Wing Liberal = Right Wing Centrist = Right Wing Sex Negative Feminist = Right Wing Disagreed with a leftist once = Right Wing See the pattern?
Isn't he, though? I know Eric July will proclaim himself as a libertarian first and foremost before anything else, but he definitely seems more ideologically attuned to the right than the left... then again, that might also just be the side effect of the left having become so unhinged and evil that they make centrists look like Goldwater Republicans.
After all the smug nonsense Anthony has said on Twitter, it's so satisfying to see him get EFAP'd. And it's also satisfying to see Anthony and his simps/EFAP haters mad that EFAP had the audacity to (gasp) RESPOND TO A VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!
The amount of gaslighting in that video was insane. What's funny is that southpaw showed up to (justly) point out Mauler's tisms for atla only to completely sidestep all the stupid claims made about him. You know, the actual relevant bit.
It's so weird seeing what happened to southpaw. Dude was supposedly some edgy give no f's guy who destroyed your favorite media and would get into so many slapfights about it on Twitter. But the efap hosts said devs was garbage and he has a meltdown and someone touched his golden goose. Like seriously he got exactly the same energy he gave out and he just imploded
@YBOT-BITTERs it was terriers not devs But yeah it was odd to see him going after so much favourite media only to turn around and like stuff like eternals and then have that drama with efap
@AjayRiver it's weird because I like to rewatch the efap movies and I've rewatched the Snyder cut video at least a hundred times while working. So it really weird to see someone who acted that crazy be so thin-skinned. Like the sk comics video just took me for a 180 because he paints southpaw like some mentally weak guy who gets triggered by every little thing
@@YBOT-BITTERsI've seen many people become crazy and anti efap when they said certain things. like I love ATLA and I think saying it's bad is wrong and some guests say Life is Strange is bad (while mostly lying about it), but I'm not going to insanely much hate EFAP like they did. It's really a shame but unreasonable people gotta be irrational.
Wounded animal Americans is my new favorite name for this type. I hate the trained voice sound of so many of these, especially when they still haven't worked out the speech impediments.
@@remylebeau34Oh, I thought vocal fry was exclusive to females doing that crackling when they talk. Between all of these cases though I'd prefer someone deliberately impersonating Casey Kasem.
This feels like a classic EFAP episode. A smug journalist type playing a bunch of out of context clips from various TH-camrs, in order to make himself look big brained
Top 10 maybe. There have been a lot of idiotic videos covered throughout the years. I still think Cinematic Venom, Organised Chaos, Synthetic Man, Boogie, Jack and Taxxon two-parter, Quinton and TRO two-parter, Major Lee video and debate are still somewhat worse, but I can see the argument for it being one of the worst.
@@Arko777777 The slander aspect tips it for me, and in this video more so than in others, because he accuses others of doing it while doing it himself.
@@Arko777777Did EFAP actually cover Boogie's videos? Because if you're referring to the documentary, it's not even made by Boogie. He's just the hilariously awful subject, but I don't know if I'd extend that to the documentary itself.
@@charlesruteal9062 Yeah, I refer to that documentary. It was sickening for me, especially the parts with Boogie's partner that's 19 years old while he's almost 50. I had basically the E;R experience during all the revelations.
I can't imagine unironically pulling up Patrick's infamous plothole video and going, "You know, he was kinda cooking." Like the only online critic he had genuine arguments against was Lily Orchard, which is a fruit so low hanging, Satan could make a living building a garden.
And even then, he managed to screw that up when he tried to make the argument, "Well, at least she not boring, unlike those other critics," and then he compares Lily's stats with Eric July, someone who managed to succeed in funding his indie comics, yet Ant is acting that Lily is doing better than him.
And the thing is Lily's critiques on Steven Universe are based af, easily her at her least unhinged (though it pissed off the LGBT who simped for that show, calling her a problematic bully so even that wasnt original of him to bring up)
@@samwallaceart288 That's why they're so bitter at Lily Orchard. Her review of Steven Universe killed its reputation and pointed out many of the flaws that plagued it even after the show ended. She was even a fan of the show, but even she found fusions to be creepy when they turned into metaphors for sex, and she even called out how every relationship in the show was borderline abusive. To this day, fans have been coping with that video forever because it proves how awful Steven Universe is and has only gotten worse.
@@jjjmadness8306 Yeah. And don't get me wrong, Lily is unhinged and the less I know about her personal issues the better. But attacking her for THAT video in particular is like attacking Hitler for his bad taste in Hugo Boss. Like I can't even be mad, I'm too flabbergasted that THAT'S what he decided to lead with. In this video about right-wing grifters. _What is happening?_
Ive fallen down the Lily Orchard rabbit hole recently, watching a bunch of stuff on how crazy she is and I watched one of this guys streams talking about her. The stream was a decent takedown of her (not hard to do honestly) but there were some things he said that sounded...weird, didnt really put to much thought into it till I was recommended THIS video. I started it up, got less than 5 minutes in, and I turned it off, because, no word of a lie, I could FEEL that EFAP was gonna make a video on this, like I had no reason to assume you would, I just KNEW. Lo and behold here we are lol
It's amazing how spineless these kinds of people are. He reeks of jealousy that his dreaded right winger foes have bigger fanbases than his idols do, and bitterness that they have better arguments than he likely ever has.
"Worst show ever" "You're a miserable hater and a grifter. You're bad faith." "Best show ever." "OMG you're so right and have such special insight into these things."
Rewatching this and... "The point of this little exercise was to highlight how little some people engage with media outside the plot" Also "That's compelling, the emotion is compelling. The technical detail, who cares" HOW, how is this from the same person in the same video. This man has no self awareness.
How? Because he's lying, they do care about the plot, but only when they can cherrypick instances of said plot to craft certain narratives, eg. "Actually, this movie is an allegory for homoeroticism" or "this show was actually about anti-capitalism". He's your typical lefty video essayists, they almost always allude to themes and allegories coz its easy to extract subjective povs that way.
Remember folks, Lily has a total of 44mil views. Almost half of that comes from just two videos they made. In comparison to Eric July(since that’s the person he’s decided to use) whose total views are around 115mil and who’s viewing numbers are far more evenly spread out over their content. So no, Lily isn’t a “better critic” because their video got more views. Lily made two videos on very popular and very “talked about” at the time series that got picked up by the algorithm. The VAST majority of those people who clicked on those two videos then had no further interest in anything else Lily made or had to say about other media or topics. They didn’t watch for Lily’s “brilliant criticism” they clicked on the video because of the video’s topic.
@@eagleactual321The only time anyone's on Lily's team is when someone right of Hbomberguy enters the room. Rest of the time she's scratching incantations in the corner while the others try to avoid eye contact.
Anthony is the guy who qrt Mauler's doctor strange video with "I hate reviews like this" that they covered on an anniversary stream, screenshot AZ to not give him engagement when he has less followers, and did The Marvels cope of celebrating that it was directed by a black women and said everyone calling him out for the movie being bad or bombing as missing the point
Might be recency bias, but I think this is one of the worst videos that have been covered to date. Terrible arguments, non-stop hypocrisy, heavy political bias, constant smugness. Horrific video, honestly.
I said in the unlisted comments that this EFAP was a 7 hour extended edition of the moment that guy reminisced about Bethesda game studios as if it were his ex-girlfriend. The unreason is alarming. The bias is palpable. The sense that what Anthony is saying is peripheral to a slanderous agenda, but his cowardice is his inhibitor, is distinct. The fact that the single topic to which he dedicated the most time and enthusiasm was a tangent raving, as if to idiots, the progression of the feminist agenda from the second wave forth, makes clear that the channel is an audition tape for carnal favours from androgynous city dwellers with heads of cotton candy dyed hair half shaven.
Was thinking the same thing. As pointed out above me, this guy still doesn't hold a candle to Hasan in terms of outright scumminess- but he definitely had the most annoying sense of completely unearned arrogance. Total confidence while being totally wrong about pretty much everything, and pure dogshit at setting up a working argument. As Mauler said, he has a habit of immediately losing to strawmen which he created. He regularly cited evidence, which he thought was in support of his claims - and in fact actually destroyed his entire position, despite his attempts to remove as much context as possible and interrupt his opponents while they were still making their point. Also it got to the point where I had to alt tab because I was so tired of looking at his resting bitchface.
If at the end of his video he revealed that none of this was his opinion and it was all an example of critics lying, it would be genius. As it stands it is a masterclass in stunning lack of self awareness.
God, I get so tired of saying the same thing about how videos like this are projecting so hard, but it keeps happening. Also, I kinda like the part where he decided to show that he's not just a partisan hack, and will go after left wingers as well, so he put up an Anita Sarkeesian video and immediately started simping for her. Way to prove your point there buddy.
By left tribal standards that _was_ sacrilege that he immediately needed to hedge against. The whole faction is lame. I don't even disagree with progressivism and equality; they're just _lame_ and weak. As people.
Notice that it's not until he starts discussing Anita (and giving her the most benefit of the doubt possible) that he could provide evidence with contextual clips and explain it himself why she was wrong.
"Debates don't change minds" Rags provides the perfect counter with the religion example, but it takes time of course. He didn't watch one debate, or do one debate, and changed his mind. It plants seeds that can grow into new beliefs, or you can at least gain understanding of a different belief you do not hold. I remember Hasan talking about debates and saying he refuses to hang out with his opponents because he HATES them. Thats pretty fucked up imo, but it seems like the same idea this video creator here believes; debates are to yell your beliefs at someone and then retreat
3:47:09 The only thing I remember about that Sherlock video, is it had good points about how Sherlock's intelligence is portrayed and then shoots itself in both feet with "ShErLoCk HoLmEs iS QuEeR!" Because it's 202- and post Tumblrites can't concieve close friendships of men in the Victorian era let alone the modern one.
It's a strange thing, these mediocre video essayists seems to have turned the phrase "accuse others of your faults" into a business model. The curious thing is why their audience never realize the massive amounts of projections that goes on in these videos.
On the part about Xmen 97's performance: I _love_ how people who will pretend to be anti big corporation, will without hesitation go to bat for big corporations the minute someone they don't like criticizes them. If Ant thought things through a bit more, he'd realize the reason companies like Disney and tell little white lies about viewership numbers and will renew terrible shows is because not doing so makes them look bad. If they admit that viewership is still going down and they aren't putting out new content, you get Bob Iger getting grilled (in the most boring corporate fashion) in shareholder meetings where people are wondering why Disney's profits are down. So they _have_ to fib a little to save face. It's not that hard to figure out, yet Antony here can't seem to connect the dots because he's just too hyperfixated on trying to dunk on his perceived political opposition to see past his navel.
I made a video going over the history of Splash Mountain, which included going over the infamous Disney movie, Song of the South. When I was looking at who talked about the movie, lo and behold, Anthony here had a take so baffling, it left me the impression he didn’t watch the movie. He called it boring, yet extremely racist. He didn’t say anything substantive of the movie. It felt like he pulled off highlights from social media and a wiki. I asked him to elaborate his take just to be sure and he couldn’t provide more details because he could barely keep his eyes open…yet it was EXTREMELY racist. That just seemed contradictory in nature and he couldn’t provide any other details and the conversation ended there. So yeah, seeing him call out people as liars with no faith in details is as rich as a Scottish duck billionaire.
Oh, he definitely was serious with one. This guy is an active feminist who has written articles on sites such as The Mary Sue, Polygon, CBR, Anime Feminist, and Screen Rants. The quality of those articles is on par with this video of his.
Anthony: Media Critics are Lying to you Also Anthony: *proceeds to lie about both media, critics and criticism The entire video, Anthony miscontrues or misrepresents the arguments mad by most of the critics he "covers", in order to prop up his own points. Whilst also doing the same thing to the scenes they're talking about. Like based on how he presents the clips (if you wanna call it that and not randomly scattering), of course someone with ZERO CONTEXT, wouldn't be able to rebut him. But if you watch more of Literature Devil, JAR or Mauler or a lot of the other people mentioned, you would see that Anthony is BLATANTLY lying about the points they're making or is taking out context to make him seem more "reasonable" by comparison. Here's the thing I hate about people like Anthony, Diregentlemen and Cosmonaught, just to name a few. It is not that they disagree with me, or enjoy something I don't or vice versa, its that they misrepresent both the piece of media they're covering as well as the people who enjoy/hate that piece of media, and do so under the impression that they're "smart actually 🤓"
Same here. It's one thing to like something others don't. It's another thing to have unabashed arrogance in your own self. Those folks are too prideful to admit that they were wrong about something.
@@lancethefilmguy9392 precisely, Anthony constantly conflates his readings and opinions of media as the correct, objective and ONLY interpretation of said media. And he demonises and quite frankly, bullies others for thinking differently. I remember a while ago when this was still a fresh event, I commented on another channel that Anthony was the line I drew in the sand for poor media criticism, to which he pompously responded "I'm happy to be that line in the sand", which says all I need to know about Anthony's argumentation and motivations. He doesn't value storytelling in the way that most who enjoy it do, he sees it as a means to make a point, typically a social or political one. And furthermore, he sees critiquing media as a means to prove HIS point, to benefit HIMSELF. Otherwise why would he act so antagonist to those who disagree with him about media or politics? Why pull his punches about people like Lily Orchard or Aneta Sarkisian when they have the worst media takes of all the people he covers in his video? And why does he assume that those he disagrees with are "lying", instead of simply holding a different view based on other ways of thinking?
🧐 You're mistaken because your explanation is longer than what you're trying to explain.

It's right there with "mucho texto, I'm not reading all that, I'm glad to hear that or I'm sorry for you"" you get from all the terminally online twitter monkeys who think that too many words means you can't be correct (memes not included).
Better reduce it down to a 3-5 word slogan to screech at people when you know you couldn't actually win an argument!

He laughs about the dummies that need a character to explicitly describe the plot to them in Blade Runner. Then, seconds later, he offers his analysis of the true message of the film which is just him repeating a line said by one of the characters nearly verbatim.

He also apparently needs it spelled out for him that FTL exists in the setting, instead of being able to infer that it does by what Roy Batty says and the ads for off-world travel and the space colonies and such that would all need it. So because he was never told it explicitly exists he claims it's a plot hole because he's decided it definitely doesn't when confronted with a line that would imply that it does.

In fact, he just left vague text on the screen because he couldn’t be bothered to do a second take.

It took me a while but then I recognized the guy. This is a CBR writer who was attacking Eric July during his ISOM first campaign, trying to find any possible excuse to criticize him: from his indie book being too expensive comparatively to main stream stuff (...), to Eric's bias (before reading the comic). At the same time, white knighting in favor of the big two (DC and Marvel) but also claiming he was in favor of indie creators.
He's an ideologue, and not even a smart one. I guess with his job going extinct, he's trying to find his niche in the TLJ defenders dark corner of the internet. Clearly, like any other journo these days, he's five years behind the curve...
When you start to read any of his articles about "Sailor Moon Could Beat Dragon Ball Z's Son Goku, " it becomes no surprise why his career is dying.
@@jjjmadness8306 oh wow, so he's (unintentionally) comedy gold? 😂 I just remember that thing (and I think he had a live call with Rippa at the time)
@@Denien82 Is the live call with Eric is the one where they talked for 45 min and he never gave a single good argument against ISOM comic price, become unhinged, started to insult Eric, talked about World War with Stan Lee and the Nazi and then Eric asked him if he was drunk and then Eric has to cut the conversation? Is it the same guy?
Shows up with his piping hot 2020-era Cinemasins and Lily Orchard critiques: "How do you do, my fellow intelecutals?"
That explains so much really. Stolen takes from ten years ago, inability to argue or handle criticism, super bad 'my side your side' nonsense, inability to do research, no self awareness. Perfect 'professional journalist' credentials.
It's interesting he complains about channels "farming hate clicks" when his entire method appears to be: [insert clip from a 'controversial' TH-camr], his audience: "OMG! a youtuber I hate! Yeah you're so right! That guy is a liar!"

As an English major, there are no words to describe my utter frustration with so-called “essayists” who don’t provide context and citations for the articles and video clips they use. It is basic knowledge.
Also why do they even call it an essay? What distinguishes it from a regular edit?
Except this wasn't an essay, in fact it was such a shitpost I mistook it for a meta demonstration of how critics lie to you by just hitting you with word salad.
@@Fauwkeshonestly that's a good question at this point. It's basically at the point where people refer to it like a film genre, except even then there's clear hallmarks for what a horror movie is for example. I think it's purely just the presentation at this point for what qualifies as a video essay. Something like this would fail 9th grade English, versus what I would actually consider "essay" would be content people like Matthew Matosis make. You know, actually well constructed scripts meant to inform and discuss a topic on a deep level. If I had to guess I imagine people consider any sort of scripted video where someone drunkenly holds a mic and talks about something for 20 minutes to 5 hours a "video essay". I'm not trying to be disparaging either I just don't know what else really ties such a comically broad format together.
@@Fauwkesbecause it sounds like they’re smart and you know how they love that… they hate it when other people think they’re smarter than the movie but they are true intellectuals…

Man, this video took me back. I haven’t seen someone so devoid of self awareness in a long while. Dunning Krueger preaches the valley of stupidity; this is more of a void of idiocy. This is why EFAP has a following. Because I assume the only folks who agreed with this person’s video either didn’t pay attention or have a bias to like it for whatever reason. As much as I may have my disagreements with you guys at times, I am thankful this podcast has helped me with critically thinking more about media. To not just accept things as they are but to question the whys and hows. It’s helped me a lot when crafting my own stories and life. So to all those essayists out there; you want to know why efap has grown? It’s because of folks like you who don’t put in the time and effort to craft good scripts and then debase us for being “media illiterate” or whatever scarlet letter of choice. I’m not buying it one bit.
But have you considered plot holes don't matter?
@@fenixsantos4117 LOL. I’d say if you are ok with plot holes be my guest. Doesn’t mean I or anyone else who points them out have to be ok. Because all of this goes back to verisimilitude and standards. Be consistent in them. For example, I love strike the blood but it is a terrible anime. Entertaining and junk food but I’d never put it as one of the best I’ve seen of the genre.
And really, when you can’t keep basic details together why should I care about your work? It’s like looking a statue and seeing how the proportions are off up close and some cracks. Or worse a giant head on a small body.

He'll block you for the pettiest reasons, which shouldn't be much of a surprise since he's a CBR journalist.
Hell, if you really want to understand Anthony's mindset, this guy went as far as to defend the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus, the same group that brags about coming for your children and covert them to more gay, the same group that was later revealed to have pedophiles who sang in the chorus, yet Anthony was still willing to defend that.
This is a guy claiming to have the moral high ground while actively defending a group that wanted to mess with little kids.

The video where Literature Devil talks about Mary Sues in this example is: Why Rey is a Mary Sue and Luke Skywalker is Not.
The beginning part of the video where he talks about Sandman and Superman is only to highlight that while these people posses incredible traits, they aren't necessarily classified as Mary Sues. He goes further into it by stating what he defines is a Mary Sue:
A Character to which the universe and plot bend
- Laws
- People
- Logic
- Common Sense
Devil illustrates that the Universe and Plot do not bend to their needs in a story therefore they do not fit the mold of a mary sue. He goes through the examples of literature for what makes a character a character and what makes them a mary sue.
Devil never added any footage of Man of Steel, this guy did. He completely takes the "Farm Boy defeats Veteran" out of context.

Once again... just because Rey scavenges starships doesn't mean she can repair one. Especially not one that is actively being used.
Imagine one of those little kids scavenging the garbage heaps in third world countries fixing your laptop because "I used to take them apart so I know how they work".
And not on a "this cable is loose" level, but on a "this specific part is interfering with the running of your system and needs to be tuned better."
Just because I unscrewed a bunch of parts and cleaned them, doesn't mean I can fix one.
I used to help out with dismantling electronic waste. I've taken apart dozens of routers. I would have no fucking clue how to fix one.
we should hire those children to program our operating systems. Obviously they have invaluable insight and won't just tell us the street value of components.
Actually that’s one of the few things Rey does that I kind of like. She’s shown in the film tinkering and having built things. It’s not an illogical leap from her skill set.
The problem is that she can pilot a starship with ridiculous levels of skill, and even though she’s never left this one planet, she knows how to navigate through hyperspace. Han pointed out the difference between flying in atmosphere (dusting crops, he calls it) and navigating between star systems in ANH.
She’s an ace pilot with no framework for where she’s develop that skill. She’s a crack shot with no framework not evidence she’d ever held a gun. Han even corrects the way she’s holding a blaster earlier but later she’s an expert marksman. She has never even heard of the Force but is using Jedi mind control hours later. She’s never touched a lightsaber and is somehow winning a duel against someone trained for decades.
Her doing this one little repair on the Falcon is feasible compared to the impracticality of everything else. And that’s even a good acting moment for Daisy Ridley, who is thrilled and excited about finding this solution, and you can see how she’s showing off to Han desperate for his approval.
@@TheNoonish I dunno man, it's still far fetched as f*ck, at least they could have done a shot of her with some books or something that she's been gathering.
They could have easily fixed the sequels easily if she was a Jedi apprentice that tinkers with mechanical stuff, her and Kylo go to investigate something, Kylo gets kidnapped (presumed dead), turns to the dark side, same idea (mah themes) much better done in 5 min.
I don't get it, where the fuck is the JJ that supposedly wrote Fringe? Too much cocaine probably
... Or lack of it? 😵💫
To a point I also blame Disney, I mean wtf... Here's the characters you need: Luke, Solo, Chewie, Leia, Lando, C3PO, R2, Rey, Finn, Pilot man, Kylo, asian girl, Roller droid, Phasma, Snoke... It's just too many fucking characters!!!
Most good stories work perfectly fine with 3 to 5 important characters.
Well, in any case, like Mauler said: pick a random person off the street and you could have probably have done a better story 🤣.

I'm sorry, but I need to debunk this guy's statement that Lily Orchard is original compared to his other examples. She's not. Lily modelled herself after Moviebob and Jim Sterling, and took many of their worst traits to the next level. You can see this in how she copies the tone of voice used in the video, the editing style, and how she loves to come up with creative ways to insult and de-humanize people who disagree with her. If you're a fan of TV Tropes, you might also notice that Lily uses a lot of phrases taken directly from that website in her scrips. Even many of her original fictions that she works on are not original, but amalgimations of World of Warcraft and Knights of the Old Republic tropes (with heavy emphasis on evil Sylvanas-type characters as the heroes). The funny thing is, for the most part he was on point with how terrible of a reviewer Lily is, and how she relies on hate and vitrial to get through. Yet his ability to analyze media is so much worse than her's that he managed to make her seem rational in comparison. Let that sink in. This guy made Lily Orchard, one of TH-cam's most vile and toxic individuals, seem reasonable.
Specifically regarding Steven Universe, she actually has a lot of valid criticisms about SU having an unprofessional flaky work ethic behind it and the story pussying out of condemning the actual villains to force some happy ending, which unintentionally throws under the bus the antihero who died so that Steven can live.
But even then, a lot of points in that video got flak from those like Robobuddies for being suspiciously similar to other videos on the topic (I watched the videos in question; they all got similar beats just presented differently; Lily made it her own with her delivery and add-on points, but yeah, "original" is not the word I would use)
Whole thing's just silly to me because of ALL the things he could've slammed her for, he went with "she was mean to Rebecca", Lily's single most based take. And even there the guy backpedals because she's a LGBT
@@samwallaceart288 i can agree that Steven Universe is an overrated show with lots of problems ignored because it’s queer. Some of Lily’s points I also agree with. But she still took things too far, as she always does.
That's what makes this whole situation so much funnier.
Despite Anthony Gramuglia's attempts to call out Lily Orchard for daring to criticize a show about gay rock aliens and an autistic boy with emotional problems, he still managed to come off worse than Lily because she at least sees through LGBT representation and can point out how badly Steven Universe handles all it's idea and should never be shown to a child.
She doesn't give it a pass because even she realizes that Steven Universe's idea of love is more creepy than it is charming, episcally when it comes to fusion.
It speaks volumes about how terrible a critic Anthony is when Lily is more objective when reviewing media than he is.
Former hardcore brony here. The unhinged psycho who rejects the objectivity of reality formerly known as Jerry Peet was looked upon by most as a fringe, unstable drama-farmer, unwelcomed even by The Herd's standards. Furthermore, stealing other people's shticks has _always_ been *his* modus operandi; when *he* first started making content, *his* videos were such a blatant theft of Zero Punctuation's entire format that The Escapist probably could have sued *him* if *he* had monetized *his* work.
Also, I will not use Jerry Peet's "pReFeRrEd pRoNoUnS" for even more austere, objectivist, and moral reasons than I refuse to use Dylan Mulvaney's. Jerry was also discovered to be lecherous autogynophiliac, having written multiple pornographic stories centered around author avatar characters magically getting turned into women. So every time you refer to Jerry by incorrect pronouns or the drag name *he* made up for *himself,* you are playing into *his* degenerate sexual fetishes... and *he* knows it, and revels in it: that's just how much of a salacious, malignant, world-stage narcissist *he* is.

My theory is that these kinda people do that to cement their message as the moral highground.

Ugh, the "stormtroopers are useless" argument.
OT:
A New Hope; stormtroopers are renowned for their accuracy, the heroes only escape because the empire wanted them to escape and lead them to the resistance, they felt like a threat
Empire Strikes Back; the heroes get their shit kicked in for the entire film
Return of the Jedi; big epic battle (unfortunately undercut by merch), still felt like a threat
Prequels:
Phantom Menace; no stormtroopers
Attack of the Clones; The moment the storm(clone)troopers show up, they utterly decimate the seperatist's droid army
Revenge of the Sith; Storm(clone)troopers wipe out the jedi
They weren't useless until Disney.

And, yeah, the big finale of RotJ where they lose to Ewoks really was played for alot of laughs and they only seemed a threat due to superior numbers and the walkers. Not saying they were total garbage though, I agree, I just think it's an idea that started with A New Hope from people who didn't pay attention, was reinforced by the Ewok nonsense, and just stayed in the collective consciousness.

The amount of gaslighting in that video was insane. What's funny is that southpaw showed up to (justly) point out Mauler's tisms for atla only to completely sidestep all the stupid claims made about him. You know, the actual relevant bit.
It's so weird seeing what happened to southpaw. Dude was supposedly some edgy give no f's guy who destroyed your favorite media and would get into so many slapfights about it on Twitter. But the efap hosts said devs was garbage and he has a meltdown and someone touched his golden goose. Like seriously he got exactly the same energy he gave out and he just imploded
@YBOT-BITTERs it was terriers not devs
But yeah it was odd to see him going after so much favourite media only to turn around and like stuff like eternals and then have that drama with efap
@AjayRiver it's weird because I like to rewatch the efap movies and I've rewatched the Snyder cut video at least a hundred times while working. So it really weird to see someone who acted that crazy be so thin-skinned. Like the sk comics video just took me for a 180 because he paints southpaw like some mentally weak guy who gets triggered by every little thing
@YBOT-BITTERs its the weird efap to anti efap story where people grow dissolussioned to one take or one guest and then become a huge hater
@@YBOT-BITTERsI've seen many people become crazy and anti efap when they said certain things.
like I love ATLA and I think saying it's bad is wrong and some guests say Life is Strange is bad (while mostly lying about it), but I'm not going to insanely much hate EFAP like they did.
It's really a shame but unreasonable people gotta be irrational.
Where did this man learn self-awareness?
ON A FARM!?!?
"IN A CAVE! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!"
Average length episode with a skeleton crew and an atrocious video essay is chef's kiss EFAP.
This is a relatively small efap for an average sized chat tbh
Wounded animal Americans is my new favorite name for this type. I hate the trained voice sound of so many of these, especially when they still haven't worked out the speech impediments.
They're trying to appear... Summarrderrr... I hate the forced vocal fry so much as well, like a crap impression of Gregory House.
@@remylebeau34Oh, I thought vocal fry was exclusive to females doing that crackling when they talk. Between all of these cases though I'd prefer someone deliberately impersonating Casey Kasem.
@@samaelament you might be right I could have the wrong name for it
The worst part of this whole debacle is not the video itself but a surprising amount of people commenting on how insightful and right he is.
But then I realized, it's a fucking comedy
Bias is one hell of a drug
This feels like a classic EFAP episode. A smug journalist type playing a bunch of out of context clips from various TH-camrs, in order to make himself look big brained
This gotta be in the top 5 worst videos covered by Efap, maybe even top 3.
Top 10 maybe. There have been a lot of idiotic videos covered throughout the years. I still think Cinematic Venom, Organised Chaos, Synthetic Man, Boogie, Jack and Taxxon two-parter, Quinton and TRO two-parter, Major Lee video and debate are still somewhat worse, but I can see the argument for it being one of the worst.
@@Arko777777 The slander aspect tips it for me, and in this video more so than in others, because he accuses others of doing it while doing it himself.
@@Arko777777Did EFAP actually cover Boogie's videos? Because if you're referring to the documentary, it's not even made by Boogie. He's just the hilariously awful subject, but I don't know if I'd extend that to the documentary itself.
@@charlesruteal9062 Yeah, I refer to that documentary. It was sickening for me, especially the parts with Boogie's partner that's 19 years old while he's almost 50. I had basically the E;R experience during all the revelations.
That's stiff competition to be honest
I'm very familiar with Literature Devil's video on Mary Sues and he was certainly talking about comic Superman, not Man of Steel Angstman.
I can't imagine unironically pulling up Patrick's infamous plothole video and going, "You know, he was kinda cooking." Like the only online critic he had genuine arguments against was Lily Orchard, which is a fruit so low hanging, Satan could make a living building a garden.
And even then, he managed to screw that up when he tried to make the argument, "Well, at least she not boring, unlike those other critics," and then he compares Lily's stats with Eric July, someone who managed to succeed in funding his indie comics, yet Ant is acting that Lily is doing better than him.
And the thing is Lily's critiques on Steven Universe are based af, easily her at her least unhinged (though it pissed off the LGBT who simped for that show, calling her a problematic bully so even that wasnt original of him to bring up)
@@samwallaceart288 That's why they're so bitter at Lily Orchard.
Her review of Steven Universe killed its reputation and pointed out many of the flaws that plagued it even after the show ended.
She was even a fan of the show, but even she found fusions to be creepy when they turned into metaphors for sex, and she even called out how every relationship in the show was borderline abusive.
To this day, fans have been coping with that video forever because it proves how awful Steven Universe is and has only gotten worse.
@@jjjmadness8306 Yeah. And don't get me wrong, Lily is unhinged and the less I know about her personal issues the better.
But attacking her for THAT video in particular is like attacking Hitler for his bad taste in Hugo Boss.
Like I can't even be mad, I'm too flabbergasted that THAT'S what he decided to lead with. In this video about right-wing grifters. _What is happening?_
Is it not true how a movie makes you feel is more important than its plot?
Thank you MooLer for bringing back the long-awaited GDELB series that Mauler discontinued.
Ive fallen down the Lily Orchard rabbit hole recently, watching a bunch of stuff on how crazy she is and I watched one of this guys streams talking about her. The stream was a decent takedown of her (not hard to do honestly) but there were some things he said that sounded...weird, didnt really put to much thought into it till I was recommended THIS video. I started it up, got less than 5 minutes in, and I turned it off, because, no word of a lie, I could FEEL that EFAP was gonna make a video on this, like I had no reason to assume you would, I just KNEW. Lo and behold here we are lol
It doesn’t surprise me that Organized Chaos thought it was a good video 😂
😂 OC likes this video? Christ, you know you might need to look in the mirror when OC thinks your takes are 10/10
Videos like this make me mourn the passing of GDELB.
Might as well call this GDELB it’s that insane
It's amazing how spineless these kinds of people are. He reeks of jealousy that his dreaded right winger foes have bigger fanbases than his idols do, and bitterness that they have better arguments than he likely ever has.
Once a jounalist, always a journalist i suppose
This guy is basically a games journalist sans the gaming.
“Journalist”
*Dirty, dirty smear merchant.
"Worst show ever"
"You're a miserable hater and a grifter. You're bad faith."
"Best show ever."
"OMG you're so right and have such special insight into these things."
Rewatching this and...
"The point of this little exercise was to highlight how little some people engage with media outside the plot"
Also
"That's compelling, the emotion is compelling. The technical detail, who cares"
HOW, how is this from the same person in the same video. This man has no self awareness.
How?
Because he's lying, they do care about the plot, but only when they can cherrypick instances of said plot to craft certain narratives, eg. "Actually, this movie is an allegory for homoeroticism" or "this show was actually about anti-capitalism".
He's your typical lefty video essayists, they almost always allude to themes and allegories coz its easy to extract subjective povs that way.
Remember folks, Lily has a total of 44mil views. Almost half of that comes from just two videos they made. In comparison to Eric July(since that’s the person he’s decided to use) whose total views are around 115mil and who’s viewing numbers are far more evenly spread out over their content.
So no, Lily isn’t a “better critic” because their video got more views. Lily made two videos on very popular and very “talked about” at the time series that got picked up by the algorithm. The VAST majority of those people who clicked on those two videos then had no further interest in anything else Lily made or had to say about other media or topics. They didn’t watch for Lily’s “brilliant criticism” they clicked on the video because of the video’s topic.
Yeah I think i've watched that video but nothing else of hers
Lily is the "better critic" because Ant plays for the same team. It doesn't go any deeper than that.
@@eagleactual321The only time anyone's on Lily's team is when someone right of Hbomberguy enters the room. Rest of the time she's scratching incantations in the corner while the others try to avoid eye contact.
Also E;R’s Steven universe is better
@@samwallaceart288 which is literally any normal person.
Anthony is the guy who qrt Mauler's doctor strange video with "I hate reviews like this" that they covered on an anniversary stream, screenshot AZ to not give him engagement when he has less followers, and did The Marvels cope of celebrating that it was directed by a black women and said everyone calling him out for the movie being bad or bombing as missing the point
Might be recency bias, but I think this is one of the worst videos that have been covered to date. Terrible arguments, non-stop hypocrisy, heavy political bias, constant smugness. Horrific video, honestly.
For me it close between this guy and Hassan. At least this guy is capable of holding a normal conversation.
I said in the unlisted comments that this EFAP was a 7 hour extended edition of the moment that guy reminisced about Bethesda game studios as if it were his ex-girlfriend. The unreason is alarming. The bias is palpable. The sense that what Anthony is saying is peripheral to a slanderous agenda, but his cowardice is his inhibitor, is distinct.
The fact that the single topic to which he dedicated the most time and enthusiasm was a tangent raving, as if to idiots, the progression of the feminist agenda from the second wave forth, makes clear that the channel is an audition tape for carnal favours from androgynous city dwellers with heads of cotton candy dyed hair half shaven.
This video feels like a rerun
Was thinking the same thing. As pointed out above me, this guy still doesn't hold a candle to Hasan in terms of outright scumminess- but he definitely had the most annoying sense of completely unearned arrogance. Total confidence while being totally wrong about pretty much everything, and pure dogshit at setting up a working argument. As Mauler said, he has a habit of immediately losing to strawmen which he created. He regularly cited evidence, which he thought was in support of his claims - and in fact actually destroyed his entire position, despite his attempts to remove as much context as possible and interrupt his opponents while they were still making their point.
Also it got to the point where I had to alt tab because I was so tired of looking at his resting bitchface.
@shogunofpie8303 personally I think the #1 worst spot goes to synthetic man, but this one and hasan as well are definitely up there
Why does globohomo sound like a Star Wars character
He’s friends with Glup Shitto
Globohomo and Salacious B. would have a lot to talk about
If at the end of his video he revealed that none of this was his opinion and it was all an example of critics lying, it would be genius. As it stands it is a masterclass in stunning lack of self awareness.
"A cautionary tale in self awareness" indeed.
God, I get so tired of saying the same thing about how videos like this are projecting so hard, but it keeps happening. Also, I kinda like the part where he decided to show that he's not just a partisan hack, and will go after left wingers as well, so he put up an Anita Sarkeesian video and immediately started simping for her. Way to prove your point there buddy.
By left tribal standards that _was_ sacrilege that he immediately needed to hedge against. The whole faction is lame. I don't even disagree with progressivism and equality; they're just _lame_ and weak. As people.
The irony of this video is that he behaved on twitter the same way he condemned in the last two minutes.
He should really retitle this video as ‘Insecure Liberal Arts Major passive-aggressively attacks mentally superiors’.
Notice that it's not until he starts discussing Anita (and giving her the most benefit of the doubt possible) that he could provide evidence with contextual clips and explain it himself why she was wrong.
"Debates don't change minds"
Rags provides the perfect counter with the religion example, but it takes time of course. He didn't watch one debate, or do one debate, and changed his mind. It plants seeds that can grow into new beliefs, or you can at least gain understanding of a different belief you do not hold.
I remember Hasan talking about debates and saying he refuses to hang out with his opponents because he HATES them. Thats pretty fucked up imo, but it seems like the same idea this video creator here believes; debates are to yell your beliefs at someone and then retreat
If you take a blue lightsaber and you are evil it turns red.
That ladies and gentlemen was a joke about a month ago. Remember that.
This guy just made a video on how "comics were always gay" yall should efap
Straight up the Dunning Kruger effect if it was a person
The amount of blatant lies in this "everyone else is lying" video is frankly hilarious.
3:47:09 The only thing I remember about that Sherlock video, is it had good points about how Sherlock's intelligence is portrayed and then shoots itself in both feet with "ShErLoCk HoLmEs iS QuEeR!"
Because it's 202- and post Tumblrites can't concieve close friendships of men in the Victorian era let alone the modern one.
God, he is still whining on Twitter about this even now
It's a strange thing, these mediocre video essayists seems to have turned the phrase "accuse others of your faults" into a business model. The curious thing is why their audience never realize the massive amounts of projections that goes on in these videos.
I read through this guy's comments section, and he said, that Pillar of Garbage Discord is very supportive lol
As long as you do right think I'm sure it's very positive. 😆
On the part about Xmen 97's performance: I _love_ how people who will pretend to be anti big corporation, will without hesitation go to bat for big corporations the minute someone they don't like criticizes them.
If Ant thought things through a bit more, he'd realize the reason companies like Disney and tell little white lies about viewership numbers and will renew terrible shows is because not doing so makes them look bad. If they admit that viewership is still going down and they aren't putting out new content, you get Bob Iger getting grilled (in the most boring corporate fashion) in shareholder meetings where people are wondering why Disney's profits are down. So they _have_ to fib a little to save face.
It's not that hard to figure out, yet Antony here can't seem to connect the dots because he's just too hyperfixated on trying to dunk on his perceived political opposition to see past his navel.
And Disney+ is bleeding money, so them making bad decisions isn't proof of anything.
I made a video going over the history of Splash Mountain, which included going over the infamous Disney movie, Song of the South. When I was looking at who talked about the movie, lo and behold, Anthony here had a take so baffling, it left me the impression he didn’t watch the movie. He called it boring, yet extremely racist. He didn’t say anything substantive of the movie. It felt like he pulled off highlights from social media and a wiki.
I asked him to elaborate his take just to be sure and he couldn’t provide more details because he could barely keep his eyes open…yet it was EXTREMELY racist. That just seemed contradictory in nature and he couldn’t provide any other details and the conversation ended there.
So yeah, seeing him call out people as liars with no faith in details is as rich as a Scottish duck billionaire.
He likes Movie Blob, nuff said.
Does he really or are you just saying that just to discredit everything he has said?
@@thehacker4012
Even if it’s untrue, he didn’t need Movie Bob to discredit his own work.
I like movie blob, his quotes (removed from their context) are based af, and are hillarious in context
@@thehacker4012 in the video they discuss a tweet where he praises movie Bob...
From the snippets of this I saw yesterday, I have to know; was this guy being serious? 'Cus if that's the case, that's hilarious! And depressing.

Anthony: Media Critics are Lying to you
Also Anthony: *proceeds to lie about both media, critics and criticism
The entire video, Anthony miscontrues or misrepresents the arguments mad by most of the critics he "covers", in order to prop up his own points. Whilst also doing the same thing to the scenes they're talking about.
Like based on how he presents the clips (if you wanna call it that and not randomly scattering), of course someone with ZERO CONTEXT, wouldn't be able to rebut him. But if you watch more of Literature Devil, JAR or Mauler or a lot of the other people mentioned, you would see that Anthony is BLATANTLY lying about the points they're making or is taking out context to make him seem more "reasonable" by comparison.
Here's the thing I hate about people like Anthony, Diregentlemen and Cosmonaught, just to name a few. It is not that they disagree with me, or enjoy something I don't or vice versa, its that they misrepresent both the piece of media they're covering as well as the people who enjoy/hate that piece of media, and do so under the impression that they're "smart actually 🤓"
Same here. It's one thing to like something others don't. It's another thing to have unabashed arrogance in your own self. Those folks are too prideful to admit that they were wrong about something.
@@lancethefilmguy9392 precisely, Anthony constantly conflates his readings and opinions of media as the correct, objective and ONLY interpretation of said media. And he demonises and quite frankly, bullies others for thinking differently.
I remember a while ago when this was still a fresh event, I commented on another channel that Anthony was the line I drew in the sand for poor media criticism, to which he pompously responded "I'm happy to be that line in the sand", which says all I need to know about Anthony's argumentation and motivations.
He doesn't value storytelling in the way that most who enjoy it do, he sees it as a means to make a point, typically a social or political one. And furthermore, he sees critiquing media as a means to prove HIS point, to benefit HIMSELF. Otherwise why would he act so antagonist to those who disagree with him about media or politics? Why pull his punches about people like Lily Orchard or Aneta Sarkisian when they have the worst media takes of all the people he covers in his video? And why does he assume that those he disagrees with are "lying", instead of simply holding a different view based on other ways of thinking?
